AHP were invited to enter a competition set up by the Kent County Showground to submit design concepts for a new exhibition space. At 3000m², the new exhibition hall is the showground’s largest project.

During construction, AHP were retained to design the second phase of the project, replacing the ageing Astor Pavilion toilet block with larger, modern amenities with improved disabled provisions.

Upon completion, the exhibition hall was officially unveiled at the 2014 Kent County show. Following on from the success of the project, the client retained AHP's services for the production of initial designs for a new exhibition hall to be sited near the Maidstone Exhibition Hall.
